Well I moved a garden--everything--but it was only 4 miles down the road. I
had help, but it was much more work than moving my belongings, and I did it
over several weeks.

with compost or something else so the garden looks smaller but presentable.
I don't really want to reseed grass.

nightmare, I truly can't fathom moving my house AND my garden. While it
seems ridiculous financially to start over, how feasible is it to dig, move
and replant a garden?
